Posts claiming that there is a bomb threat in two leading five-star hotels in Bambalapitiya, Wellawatta, Mirihana, Nugegoda, Mount Lavinia and Dehiwala of Colombo are false and people have been urged not to panic, the Police told Daily Mirror on August 6. Army Commander General Shavendra Silva also confirmed that the post had circulated on social media, soon after the Easter Sunday attacks and are now being re-edited and circulated once again.
